## Character

        

Lower Burns Park has a quieter, more suburban feel than its northern neighbor Burns Park proper, with slightly larger lots and a higher proportion of post-WWII ranch and split-level homes alongside earlier Craftsman and Colonial Revival stock. The neighborhood is popular with families who prioritize the Ann Arbor Public Schools system and the outdoor recreation access provided by County Farm Park.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Lower Burns Park developed progressively through the 20th century as Ann Arbor expanded southeast. The area around County Farm Park was originally agricultural land associated with the Washtenaw County Farm and was converted to city parkland in the mid-20th century, anchoring the neighborhood's recreational character.
